Monteux, Boston Symphony Orchestra - Stravinsky: Petrouchka - Analogue Productions LP

200g Vinyl — RCA Living Stereo, Remastered from the Original 3-Track Tapes, Pressed at QRP

A vivid, characterful reading of one of Stravinsky's great ballet scores. On this 1960 Living Stereo "Shaded Dog" recording, Pierre Monteux — who had conducted the premieres of Stravinsky's ballets in his Paris years — leads the Boston Symphony Orchestra through the colorful, bustling world of Petrouchka: the swirling Shrovetide Fair, the tragic puppet's anguish and the riotous carnival finale, with Bernard Zighera's piano woven brilliantly into the orchestral fabric. Demonstration-class sound and a conductor with the music in his blood.
